what the photos will be

so as promised here is what the photo looks like now.

not bad eh?
as i explained in an earlyer blog
we are going for a very gritty film noire style look.
cant wait to see them on the big screen.

photo shoot for projections!

Ok, so its time to get back to my show.
Cameron is back and we had the photoshoot today!
the models were awesome, and the photos were downright disturbing
take a look.

yeah pretty Gross eh? this was one of the tame ones.
well tomorrow we are going to be working on these images to make them in to what they are supposed to be for the show. I will post the fixed version tomorrow.

night shots

the other night I took a walk up the hill,
Iwas feeling rather lonley and I hadnt heard from Holly for a bit.
these past few weeks have been rather difficult. and the loneliness is starting to crush at my soul just a bit. I know Holly is having an amazing time, I just wish I could talk to her more. I trust her and I love her, and I know that our love is not something she is going to give up on so quickly. its just difficult, being so far away. but perhaps this will strengthen our love. but still I am having doubts that it was the right choice, i think only for the level of distraction its causing me, Its difficult to work, when you just cant stop thinking about the girl of your dreams, but I have to push on. less than a month before i am back in her arms. and then only a month before shes back home!
Anyhow these are some night photos i took   

Observing tec

This is my first update from my phone, how fun

I am watching the tech run of amidigi the set is quite stunning and intricate although it gives me a bit of a claustrophobic feeling. David is doing an interesting backlight thing with a very orange light I will have to remember to ask him the colour he is using

what i love about being in the middle of nowhere is it gives you time to think, the downside is you might go a bit stir crazy.
I think if i ever do the central city thing again, i will need a car.

I made an interesting discovery on the internet today. i found this http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2011/06/22/new-camera-lets-you-focus-photos-after-the-fact/

seems kind of interesting, if you read further you will note that the software that comes with the camera can be used to transform the image to 3D.
although its not without hiccups I think this technology can have a huge application on media in the theatre,
but it will probably makes some lazy photographers

An attempt at a panorama

So we tried to go up mount Evans the other day, but it was kind of snowed out, but i did take some nice pictures.

heres a panorama i did 

Gobos

So we had an Issue with the gobos we ordered. (I created the Images out of a photo shoot i did ,by filling my apt with balloons)
when we got them the color was really off, but the people who made the gobos fixed it and sent us some new ones. they look much better, but i think the color is still a bit off in the letters

exploring in my free time

So I wandered up to an abandoned town the other day.
It was fun, I also explored down an old river, and found an abandoned mine.

I wonder if its safe to just wander around these mountains like i do, but well its fun, heres some pics

a day of tech

So we had our one day of tech, we managed to get a bit done, but it seems kind of pointless, we dont get another chance in the theatre untill the end of the month. I understand that this is how things get scheduled, but I am sure theres got to be a better way.
I honestly think when we get back we are probably going to change allot, plus right now we don't even have all the photos we are using.
then again we did get a good chunk of the media server built.
Using Isadora is a bit of a pain, as it doesnt do exactly what we want it to right now. it turns out we have to program the code to make it do what we need it to do. but lucky for me i was able to find a guy who had the same problem and he already had the code. we tweeked it a bit, and volia!
there it is projecting on to a very curved surface!

Central

So far its a nice place, Albeit the place i am staying at is creepy.
the Crew is prety cool, and we have managed to get the media stuff up and running, which is sweet.
but I am having trouble with Isadora. Its not exactly doing what i want it to, but i still need to explore it more

In other news, even though i am so very far away from the love of my life, I am still able to talk to her lots.
I am sure however that will change once campers actually show up at her camp. She seems like shes having a good time, but i really miss her. part of me is beginning to doubt that spending the summer apart was a good choice, but I am sure I am just homesick

Central city

so I made it to central city Colorado, I am the video guy for the third show of the opera and i have to say I am quite nervous. this week is going to be make it or break it time. and i have untill Tuesday to get it all sorted out.
then on Wednesday I  think i am going to grab my camera and pick a direction and walk for a while, hopefully i will come upon an abandoned mine or something cool like that. should make for some good photos.
or i get horribly lost.
either way its going to be an adventure

holly is gone now... but its only a few months.

So holly has left for camp, we have had a pretty rough week what with the flood and all, but I am sure shes going to have a great time at camp. its so weird when you think about it, My girlfriend a college graduate is going to be a camp counselor.
either way, I miss her deeply, and i wish i could have gone with her, just because i don't know how i am going to survive the next few months without her. 
despite the fact that I am very sad about not being able to see her for the next month. I am also glad for her. this camp seems like a unique experience, and shes going to get a chance to meet some fun new people and hopefully makes some good connections. also this should help with our goal of starting that farm camp we've been talking about. also it will be nice for her to be active and having fun 24/7 especially after how rough our last semester was. while shes up at the camp she wont have to stress or worry about any of the shitty real life things and she will just get to concentrate on having fun and becoming a better teacher. so all in all a good experience for her.
then once shes back, I only have 9 months left in this place, and we can go off to Dublin to get her masters degree.
its going to be great.

just got to get through the next few months.
